Healthcare with operating robots
Robots can be used in a wide range of medical fields and contribute to more efficient patient care. Operating robots can be of great help, particularly in surgery. They are considered accurate assistants, but do not replace the surgeons performing the procedures. One example of the use of robots in surgery is for minimally invasive procedures: The surgical instruments are only introduced into the body through a fingernail-sized incision. 3D cameras allow doctors to look into the area undergoing surgery. Robotic interventions have a gentler effect on patients, primarily by reducing surgical trauma.
In addition, the risks of manual human errors are minimised. Operating robots can also be useful in other areas in ways that are set to become essential in future.
